Birds Were Flown Fish Were Floated

when respect is the left                              acceptance is the right wing
a bird s eye view shouldn t be a world as slashed with slashes
the way it was sliced years ago
shouldn t be the reason for our loathing

when you look beyond the stained glass    only the flesh remains
the flesh that is cooked different but tastes the same
they forgot that there are recipes out there
as good as theirs

they used symbols and labels to divide    we shouldn t have followed the flow
we must hold hands    if we want to grow

they say dogs are people s best friends    perhaps because they don t see color
when did we forget that we are all in this together?

birds are flown
fish are floated
by a greater will power
so let s use ours to adjust
those who want to transform the slashes
into full stops by ending us

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
